I took this pill to help to lessen my periods. I suffer from severe cramps, which prevent me from being able to live my life each month. My doctor suggested that I take this pill to give me 4 periods a year, which would help me to live my life.
Whenever I change birth control pills I am nauseated, so I figured that this is normal. However, this was not the only side effect that I got from taking Seasonique. I gained about 15 pounds while on this medication (and have dropped all of that weight since I changed birth control pills). I had fewer periods, but my emotions were out of control. I would cry for no reason, and was getting anxiety attacks. All of these symptoms ceased when I changed medications.
I would caution women to consider the risks and the benefits before taking this medication.

I've dealt with heavy periods since I was 12. I've tried several other forms of birth control pills including YAZ, but this one is much better.
The first 3 months do have some "surprise" spotting, but it's worth it. You only have 4 periods a year, and they are so much easier than what I went through before. No cramps, 2 days of bleeding - I can deal with that!
